How Does It Work
SMS verification online in three simple steps.
Home / How it works
01
Choose your service and country
Pick the app you want to verify from 208 services and one of 154 countries, from the United States and the United Kingdom to India, Brazil and Indonesia. Every combination has one fixed price, shown before you buy, from $0.01. Make sure you pick the exact app; a number bought for WhatsApp receives WhatsApp codes.
- 208 services, 154 countries
- Fixed price before you buy
02
Send the SMS to the shown number
Your number appears at once, with its country code and a 20 minute timer. Enter it in the app, choose SMS as the way to get the code, and send. Type the country code carefully: the app must show the same country as the number, for example +1 for the United States or +44 for the United Kingdom.
- Real mobile numbers in local format
03
Receive the code
The SMS appears in your inbox as soon as it reaches the number, usually within a minute, and stays there in full text. Need it again? Press Another code and ask the app to resend, free inside the window. If no code arrives in 20 minutes, the full price returns to your credit.
- Pay only when a code arrives
- Another code free in the window
Words You Will See in Your Console
The same few terms appear on every activation. This is what each one means.
- Activation
- One purchase: one app, one country, one mobile number, one 20 minute window.
- Code window
- The 20 minutes in which the number receives SMS for your app. The timer starts when you buy.
- Waiting for code
- The number is ready and no SMS has arrived yet. Send the code from the app now.
- Another code
- After the first code, ask the app to send again; every SMS in the window is shown at no extra cost.
- Cancel
- Close the activation before a code arrives and get the full price back at once.
- Refunded
- The window ended without a code, so the full price returned to your credit by itself.
Questions About the Process
What is SMS verification?
SMS verification is the step where an app sends a short code by text message to the phone number you entered, and you type that code back to prove you can receive messages on that number. Apps use it at sign-up, at login from a new device and before payouts or password resets.
What is SNSVerify?
SNSVerify is an SMS verification service: you pick an app and a country, get a mobile number for 20 minutes, and read the verification code on our website. It covers 208 apps in 154 countries, from the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany to India, Brazil and Indonesia.
How do I receive SMS online with SNSVerify?
Create an account with one access token, add credit, choose the app and the country, and press Buy. Enter the number in the app, ask the app to send the SMS, and the code appears in your activation inbox, usually within a minute.
Do I need a phone or a SIM card?
No. The number lives on our side and the text message is shown in your browser. You can verify an app on a laptop, a tablet or a second phone without inserting any SIM card.
Which apps can I verify?
208 apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Google, Microsoft, Apple ID, ChatGPT, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, Uber, Amazon and Steam. Each app has its own page with every country price and app-specific tips.
How long do I have to receive the code?
20 minutes from the moment you buy the number. The timer is shown next to the number in your inbox.
What happens if no code arrives?
If no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, the activation closes by itself and the full price goes back to your credit. You can also cancel any time before a code arrives and get the full price back at once.
Can I get a second code on the same number?
Yes. After the first code arrives you can press Another code and ask the app to send again; every SMS that reaches the number inside the 20 minutes is shown, at no extra cost.
